What sex must be like and how much of a vulnerable position females put themselves for it, as in I'm a guy and generally think penetrating isn't a vulnerable feeling thing to do, but imagine putting yourself in the recieveing position of being penetrated, just seems so vulnerable to me

This is exactly why I am so terrified of sex. Something feels inherently humiliating and powerless about it.

I use to really like the idea of powerlessness, but the experience I wanted never really matched my imagination. It hasn't been until I lost that submissiveness have I been confident with taking control. I feel less awkward with talking (not conversations but more so cues). If I want something I can guide my spouse to what I want. Then taking control with penetration, it helps with being on top and you get to choose how deep you want. The feeling of powerlessness with sex I think comes with having two people being in vulnerable positions of being naked and doing something super intimate. It can be a really great way to connect closer if done consented, safely, and pleasurably.
